Marko is not worried: 'Then Verstappen will just dominate again'
Helmut Marko is not worried after Max Verstappen's break failure in Australia. Red Bull Racing's top adviser thinks the Dutchman will dominate again in Japan.
To say that Red Bull did not have the best day in the team's history is putting it mildly. Verstappen dropped out after only three laps with a brake problem, while Sergio Perez struggled at the front.

Yet there is also something positive about the race in Melbourne, Marko laughed to De Telegraaf: "You don't have to ask me now if we can win all the races this year. That's over now. We have to find out why those 'bloody brakes' failed. Max was confident. He even said he could have kept up with Sainz with those problems. That is positive. I think the problems are also purely to do with this circuit. It is nothing special. I expect Max to dominate again in Suzuka in a fortnight's time."
Marko is disappointed, but looks ahead to the next Grand Prix positively: "A day like this is unfortunately also part of racing. Everyone finds it boring when Red Bull wins, so we delivered for all those people. But not on purpose... And it's true that it was quiet outside the track now, but not during the race. I hope this year it will be possible for it to be calm on both sides."
